38 weeks baby moves very vigorously

It is normal for the baby to have frequent fetal movements at 8 weeks. In the late pregnancy, the baby is about to be born, the belly will become hard, and the fetal movements will become more and more frequent. Expectant mothers need nourishment at this time to conserve their energy while waiting for the arrival of the baby. They cannot eat and drink casually just because the baby is about to be born. Many foods cannot be eaten in the late pregnancy. So what should mothers eat in their late pregnancy? What is not suitable for mothers in late pregnancy to eat? What soups can you make? What warm-up exercises do you need to do to conserve your energy?

1. Foods suitable for pregnant women in late pregnancy

1. Eating more foods rich in collagen, such as pig's trotters, can help increase skin elasticity.

2. Eating more foods such as crucian carp, carp, radish and winter melon can help relieve edema symptoms.

3. Eat more foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as walnuts, sesame seeds and peanuts, as well as foods that are easy to digest and absorb and rich in protein such as chicken and fish.

Healthy Beef Stew

Ingredients: broccoli, black fungus, lean beef (beef tenderloin), onion (a small amount)

Ingredients: camellia oil (corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, etc.), dry red wine, brown sugar, soy sauce, salt (preferably bamboo salt), chicken essence or mushroom essence

Method: Cut the beef into small slices and marinate with red wine, brown sugar, soy sauce, chicken essence, a small amount of salt and black pepper for 30 minutes; add a small amount of camellia oil and onion to the pan (hot pan with cold oil), add beef and broccoli; when the beef changes color, add appropriate amount of marinated beef seasoning, stir-fry evenly and serve.

Tip: Marinating beef with red wine can not only remove the fishy smell, but also aid digestion, so don’t worry (the alcohol will completely evaporate during the frying process); be sure to use a small amount of black pepper.

Nutritional notes: Broccoli is the vegetable with the highest nutrient concentration, especially in terms of vitamin A and beta-carotene, which are the highest among all vegetables; the iron content of black fungus is 7 times that of the same weight of pork liver. Regular consumption can prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia. In addition, black fungus also contains gelatin components, which has the effect of cleansing the stomach and intestines; beef is rich in protein, and contains a large amount of heme iron, which is a good product for fighting iron deficiency anemia.

Refreshing Golden Needle Soup

Ingredients: Enoki mushrooms, dried shrimps, seaweed, eggs, shredded ginger

Ingredients: salt (preferably bamboo salt), chicken essence or mushroom essence, sesame oil

Preparation: Wash and blanch the enoki mushrooms, remove and drain; add appropriate amount of water, add shredded ginger after the water boils, cook until fragrant, then add the blanched enoki mushrooms, seaweed and dried shrimps. Before serving, add appropriate amount of bamboo salt, chicken essence or mushroom essence, and then add beaten egg.

Tip: There is a lot of salt in dried shrimps and seaweed! Fungi contain toxins to some extent, and blanching them first can remove the toxins; if the cholesterol level of the expectant mother is already higher than normal, you can use zero-cholesterol tofu instead of high-cholesterol eggs for cooking.

Nutritional notes: Shrimp skin has a super high calcium content, ranking first among all foods. The optimal calcium-phosphorus ratio of 2:1 makes it have the best calcium absorption rate; the content of lysine and zinc in Flammulina velutipes is particularly high, which can promote intellectual development and brain health. It is called "brain-enhancing mushroom" in Japan. It also has the same good effect in lowering cholesterol and inhibiting the increase of blood lipids.

Fetal development at 38 weeks

The fetal length was approximately 47.5 cm and the fetal weight was 3100 g. The average biparietal diameter was 9.08±0.59cm, the average abdominal circumference was 30.63±2.83cm, and the femur length was 7.20±0.43cm.

This week, the layer of fine down and most of the white vernix caseosa covering the fetus's body gradually fall off, and the wrinkles on the skin gradually disappear. These secretions will be swallowed by the fetus along with the amniotic fluid, gradually turn black in the intestines, and are excreted from the body after the fetus is born, which is called "meconium."

Your placenta is aging and your baby is ready to be born. If the fetal position is abnormal at this time, you need to consider the mode of delivery. If the baby is not in the head position, the doctor will perform a caesarean section based on the actual situation. In fact, mothers don’t have to worry too much. Modern medicine already has more advanced methods to ensure the safety of the fetus and pregnant women. Go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up and the doctor will decide the method of delivery based on the specific situation of the pregnant woman.

38 weeks fetal biparietal diameter standard

The standard for biparietal diameter of the fetus at 38 weeks of pregnancy is that the average biparietal diameter is 9.08±0.59, the average abdominal circumference is 30.63±2.83, and the average femur length is 7.20±0.43.

What is the standard biparietal diameter of a 38-week fetus?

The 38th week is the third week of the 9th month of pregnancy, so the standard biparietal diameter of the fetus at 38 weeks should be above 9.0 cm and below 10.0 cm. However, the statistics of the biparietal diameter of the fetus all use the average value, so the average value of the biparietal diameter of the fetus at the 38th week is 9.08 ± 0.59.
